And finally, Korea's bribe scandal issues and economic troubles are coming to an end. Students are getting better education, and private tutoring is now slowly decreasing (it used to be extremely popular, despite the fact that it had no effect whatsoever on the student)And who-hooo, Korea's Samsung's stocks and technology is now 15 percent higher than Japan's Sony! PING: TITLE: Dokdo BLOG NAME: Barry Talks! Dokdo is a tiny, rocky, uninhabitable islet off the coast of Korea which is periodically a source of intense friction between Korea and Japan, which calls the 54-acre rock Takeshima.

For example, when an American army tank crushed two Korean school girls in June, 2002, most Koreans were calm. But when the American court martial acquitted them of all charges, the public exploded. The public was already angry when trhe American short-track skater Anton Ono fouled Korean skater Kim Dong-Song during the Salt Lake City Olympics of 2001. And Kim Dong-Song was eliminated for that!

The Japanese also acknowledged this fact in several historical records made in the 16th, 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries. The latest record that acknowledges this fact was made in 1906, by a Japanese! However, the Japanese are claiming the islets only because they illegally incorporated the islets as a terra nullius (uninhabited island) in 1905, 9 years after they assassinated Empress Myeoung-Song (Queen Min) of the Korean Empire (Because she was preventing the Japanese from taking control of Korea). This was an illegal annexation because it was done secretly, without the permission of the Korean Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which had already been forcibly dismantled ater the Japanese forced the Protectorate Treaty upon the Korean Empire. For those of you who don't know, the Protectorate Treaty of 1905 was forced upon Korea by the Japanese, without the permission of the Korean Emperor or prime minister. This treaty allowed Japan to take control of Korea's domestic and international relations. When Emperor Gojong of Korea sent representitives to the Hague Peace Conference of 1907, and told the world of the Japanese wrongdoings, the Japanese Emperor Meiji forced Emperor Gojong to abdicate the throne, Therefore, Koreans were unable to protest the illegal annexation of Tokdo, contrary to the Japanese propaganda that Koreans agreed with the annexation, which makes no sense whatsoever. Moreover, the Japanese would later take control of the entire Korean Peninsula by the means of another forced treaty, the Korean-Japanese Protectorate Treaty of 1910, which was signed by pro-Japanese and threatened Korean ministers, making Korea into a Japanese colony, and subject to Japanese abuse (comfort women, forced labor, mass killings, nothing short of what Nazis did). Hereby, the Japanese Government and Japanese nationalists have nothing to proud of their late 19th century and early 20th century history. They continue to pay tribute to executed war criminals at Yasukuni Shrine, despite the protests of other nations (the war criminals devastated cities like Nanjing), distort textbook facts to glorify Japanese imperialism and to make it as if Tokdo is Japanese territory, and also refuse to compensate comfort women, forced laborers, and POWs, who all suffered greatly at the hands of the Japanese. Therefore, I want the world to know the true Japan, the Japan that consistently denies its own crimes despite numerous witnesses and evidence, the Japan that receives so much support from the international community mostly due to its lies and deceit, and the Japan that falsely honors peace, while shooting water cannons at Chinese ship trespassing territory and injuring the passengers and quietly rebuilding its military.

By using such terms as "white refuse", you betray a serious inferiority complex, if not serious racist tendencies. If anyone, be them African, Asian, European or American criticizes Korea, does that make them "anti-Korean"? If Koreans have the right to live freely in countires such as the US, Canada, Australia, Germany, and England as citizens, with all of the freedom to engage politically, make critical observations, open businesses and otherwise feel at home, why must Koreans FREAK OUT when a non Hankuk-saram says something critical of Korea. A truly advanced Korea, (which, by the way, neo-Koreans such as myself)would be open to debate and criticism without feeling a need to resort to racist or anti-foreigner invective. Wake up, there are hundreds of thousands of people on this peninsula of different blood than the Dae-Han-Nin-Guk and we are not going away. And that goes as well for Japan, China and the rest of Asia. The challenge for Korea is to open its hermit mind and truly see itself as more than a glorified "uri-nun hana imnida" tribal grouping and more as modern growing agglomeration of people. Are you ready for such a scenario? or are you going to resort to pathetic racist drivel? Lux Bearer,
